CoolWave (formerly Video Sound Editor)5.0
editor's review
buy now $30.00
Social networks pushed forward the trend of short clips being shared in order to express different situations, news or forms entertainment, since nobody has time to read anymore. This is greatly enhanced by the variety of multimedia editing applications, which is also the case with CoolWave that puts several processors and effects at your disposal to thoroughly modify audio and video layers.
Neat visuals and file support
In terms of visuals, the application sports a clean, modern look and feel, with buttons, menus, and other elements being both intuitive and polished. This is not a general tool though, with a little more room left for improvement, but it's enough to work with and focus on actual editing.
A neat advantage is represented by file support. Both videos and songs can be loaded as long as they are under formats like CDA, MTS, WAV, MP3, MP4, MPG, MID, DTS, RAW, MVB, MOV, QT, MKV, AU, AIF, FLV, and several more. For proper editing and functionality, you might want to check if you've got DirectX installed on your computer, although latest Windows iterations come with it as a basic option.
Simple navigation and accessibility options
Even if you can load video files too, the application focuses more on the audio part. Most of your workspace represents either a wave form or spectral view of the audio layer, but there's also a video preview you can choose to keep around.
Playback controls are at your fingertips to enable real time preview of your work, with additional controls for volume and balance. For better view, you can zoom in and out, jump to a specific time, exchange channels, and more simple tools for easy navigation and manipulation.
Various video and audio editing tools
As mentioned above, you can do more with the audio layer than with the video, which is only limited to adjusting brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation, as well as a tool for cropping. There are also a few technical details in the last editing step that help define quality by setting codec, frame rate, and resolution.
An impressive array of filters, delays, and amplitude changing controls can be applied to the audio layer. By selecting parts of interest, it's enough to press the corresponding effect button, with a small prompt letting you adjust intensity and preview changes before applying them.
What's more, you can use up to four different multimedia slots, which come in handy for combining multiple audio and video layers into a single product. When it comes to export, a large variety of configurable options are put at your disposal, which make the application useful even as a simple converting utility.
A few last words
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that CoolWave is a reliable multimedia editing application that gives you the possibility to perform a decent amount of operations on clips and songs. Although not packed with too many effects and filters, especially for the video layer, overall implementation of features, and support for multiple projects at a time, make this application worth at least a try.

Arista Networks, the so-called "cloud networking" start-up that began life by challenging Cisco with an ultra-fast network switch that cost a tenth the price of a Cisco switch, is closing in on the problem of redesigning the network to support large data centers and cloud computing that it was started by Andy Bechtolsheim to solve.
The company's premise is that existing networks aren't designed for virtual and mobile workloads.
See, along with virtualization has come an explosion of virtual machines over physical servers by a factor of 10x-20x creating in turn a proportional sprawl of virtual switches to connect the VMs in the physical servers.
Arista contends that this combination of multi-core CPUs, VMs and virtual switch infrastructure is making untenable demands on the underlying cloud network fabric. The traditional 64:1 oversubscribed network topologies don't cut it.
Too much latency.
It says the industry needs seamless user-to-VM, VM-to-VM, VM-to-physical machine access and that the network needs to be redesigned for non-blocking any-to-any cloud networks, as well as peak bandwidth of terabit scale.
The situation, it says, calls for consistent physical, virtual and cloud networking. It also calls for consistent, holistic management across virtual and physical networks during VM migration.
Naturally, Arista's got a fix.
It claims to have the first network product to bridge physical, virtual and cloud networks.
And naturally it involves its Ethernet switches.
Essentially its switching platform is now integrated with virtual machine management and cloud reach.
It says it can link physical, virtual and cloud networks using VMware, a close ally of Cisco and an early investment of Bechtolsheim, the man with the golden touch who co-founded Sun and was Google's first investor.
Arista's got a newfangled virtualized Extensible Operating System (vEOS) that's supposed to bring hitless upgrades, network troubleshooting and configuration to VMware's vSphere 4.
vEOS is an vSphere-linked implementation of Arista's existing modular Extensible Operating System (EOS) that manages VMware's distributed switches.
It auto-discovers all vSwitches and VMs in a vDS domain and provides an interface for network administrators to establish consistent policy and accounting.
Arista's magic is supposed to be in its software, which it developed long before its silicon, and EOS separates state from different processes and stores all of the state of networking variables and inter-process communications in a transactional database.
Anyway, vEOS is supposed to move workloads from physical servers to virtual machines and to cloud infrastructures while maintaining segmentation, trust boundaries and policy control.
With VMware's vConverter it moves network state from the physical port to the logical port and with vSphere it binds state to each mobile VM.
It integrates with VMware's vCenter virtualization platform so there's a familiar network interface and offers consistent policy and accounting for physical ports, virtual machines and cloud deployments.
Arista president Jayshee Ullal – a Cisco alum like Bechtolsheim, von Bechtolsheim actually, and other senior Arista folk – says that with vEOS, tricked out as a virtual appliance or an integrated EOS feature, Arista and VMware customers will be able to manage their growing converged networking infrastructure and move VMs around more easily.
The widgetry is meant to address the need to manage hybrid virtual and physical infrastructures with multiple network operating systems.
So it manages VMware's vNetwork Distributed Switch and links physical and virtual machines to network policy and profiles.
Arista claims virtualization is creating a management gap between physical and virtual networks. vEOS is supposed to offer administrators a familiar, industry-standard network interface for configuration and monitoring without throwing a monkey wrench into the virtualized infrastructure.
vEOS is described as a single system image that runs on Arista's 7000 family of cloud networking switches as well as a VMware virtual appliance.
Arista observes that with vSphere 4's new capabilities such as Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Fault Tolerance, VMs move from one host to another automatically. It reckons this demands an order-of-magnitude more capacity, lower latency and new network architectures.
vEOS, which supports third-party application development, is also supposed to bring monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to virtualized environments including HP Openview support, standard SNMP monitoring and fully integrated access control while integrating with VMware Fault Tolerance to provide high availability for the vEOS virtual appliance.
Arista says it will be signing up customers for the open beta of vEOS starting in October or November. It won't be available until the fourth quarter. Preliminary pricing suggest a 64-host network configuration license will run $5,000; 64 hosts per vEOS instance translates into 12,800 VMs.
Arista was founded on Andy and his partner Arista chief scientist David Cheriton's nickel. With no one else funding it, Arista isn't worried about meeting milestones or chasing more VC money. Its 10 gigE switches have been shipping for the last year.
As enterprises capture more and more data of all types – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured – data discovery requirements for business intelligence (BI), Big Data, and predictive analytics initiatives grow more complex. A company's ability to become data-driven and compete on analytics depends on the speed with which it can provision their analytics applications with all relevant information. The task of finding data has traditionally resided with IT, but now organizations increasingly turn towards data source discovery tools to find the right data, in context, for business users, d...

Dubai's average sale prices for villas have fallen by 24 percent and apartments by 17 percent during the second quarter of the year, says a real estate report by Landmark Advisory. During the period, average villa rents fell 19 percent to AED220,350, while average apartment rents dropped 23 percent to AED129,900, says the report.
"Landlords are opting out of the market because of lower rents creating a temporary respite in the price correction process," said Jesse Downs, Landmark Advisory's director of Research and Advisory Services in a release from the company. "This short term decline in supply is a market distortion, which will end. Real prices will be determined by what Dubai residents are willing to pay."

Great Summer Reading!
By Cheryl Dickow
Catholic Online
Coincidence, it has often been said, is simply God choosing to remain anonymous. So, are the events in Tom's life mere coincidences or are they orchestrated by a loving and wise God? In Gabriel, Blow Your Horn! author C. S. Callahan (better known as Sister Callahan) introduces the reader to Tom, a young man on a career fast track where the future appears to be filled with money and success.
Tom is no different than many people I know. I even recognize aspects of myself in him. He's driven, goal-oriented, and not showing any signs of slowing down. He's got a two-year plan, a five-year plan, and a ten-year plan. That is, until he loses his job in the firm that was to be one of the stepping stones in those plans.
In the middle of this unanticipated dilemma, Tom accepts an invitation to his college roommate's sprawling home where he plans on spending some quiet time formulating his "Plan B." Seeing that his friend, Chris, has stayed on track with their mutually agreed upon goals, Tom is more determined than ever to make up for lost ground. Though still a bit shaken by his misfortune, Tom nonetheless recognizes a significant opportunity for a financial windfall at a nearby monastery. And it is at this point that a series of interesting and intriguing events unfold in a manner that has "coincidence" written all over. To better position himself for what he begins to see as his inevitable financial gain, Tom dons the correct garb (though often lacking the correct attitude) and works diligently to clear and clean the grounds and gardens that have succumbed to lack of attention. Tom sits with his newfound, albeit much, much older, friends and does his best to enjoy football on a dilapidated television set that is just barely getting reception � a far cry from the flat screen Tom had been used to. His dining habits also undergo a drastic change as the once avid wine aficionado makes do with the meager offerings at the monastery. Through it all, though, Tom never loses hope in his dream of wealth.
While at the monastery Tom's plan is complicated by a variety of unforeseen obstacles that include Paul, the steely, reserved priest and Robert the affable, although slightly-impaired cook. Chris' wife Sarah also becomes a prominent figure as she seeks to escape her shallow life in the solace of the monastery. It is there that Brother Gerald lovingly recommends, among other things, that she spend time with the Blessed Mother in the prayers of the Rosary.
In Gabriel, Callahan does a great job of leading Tom through events that he clearly believes are of his own making while quietly juxtaposing Brother Gerald's own prayerful requests to infuse the monastery with a youthful enthusiasm and vigor that it hasn't seen in years. Soon enough, coincidence yields to providence in illustration of Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."
Filled with rich characters, excellent dialogue, and interesting events that make it difficult to put down, Gabriel delights, with both its inspirational message and satisfying resolution. Whether Tom is watching a football game in the recreation hall with the monks or using his robust youthfulness to clean and clear the much overgrown gardens, Callahan has created settings in which the reader feels "there." The reader becomes intricately involved with Tom's plot and marvels, knowingly, at both the overt and covert ways in which the Lord works. Every reader of Gabriel, Blow Your Horn! will be left reflecting on his or her own life, looking at the ways in which the Lord has worked. Add this to the fact that all proceeds from Sister Carolyn's books help support her retreat house, Windridge Solitude, and you have a perfect summer read!

GCC throws an error saying he doesn't know the type IOEthernetAddress. Is assert.h necessary for my task? It would be great if someone coud give me a working sample.

Traditional Chinese Qigong: Level 5
with Dr. Eva Wong
May 8 - 10, 2014
In Level 5 students will learn:
- The Leopard, Snake, and Crane postures of the Five Internal Animals Training from the Wudang Shan lineage. The leopard form trains tendon flexibility and strength; the snake form trains flexibility in the spinal column to facilitate the circulation of qi; and the crane form enhances the ability of the body to conserve and store generative energy (jing). In addition, by immersing themselves in the spirit of these animals, participants will eventually embody the explosive power of a leaping leopard, the elusive movement of the snake, and the balanced stillness of a crane in repose.
- Part 3 of the Immortals' Guide to Self-massage and Breath regulation. This system combines self-massage and breath control to facilitate the conservation and circulation of internal energy.
- Part 3 of Chen Xiyi's Red Phoenix Calisthenics System. This system combines tendon-changing, calisthenics, self-massage, and breath regulation.
Qigong Level 5 begins at 7:30pm on May 8th and ends at 6pm on May 10th.
Special Repeater Price: $160 per level

Not heavy metal and not advertised as Made in China. Looks good on the wall but both a bit flimsey. I purchased the Buck and Elk wall art pieces and happy with both. They were both shipped in good condition with the deer head arriving later as it was on back order. No problem.

Hey, I'm Charlotte!
Originally from Germany I was very fortunate to move West halfway around the world, via Cornwall, UK, and Washington, DC to the most beautiful rock in the middle of the Pacific - KAUA'I!
John and I have lived here for the last 21 years and enjoyed the company of many visitors - family, old and new friends, many of them through airbnb: Traveling to and fro this remote island can be challenging; thus having the world come to us has been greatly rewarding!
When not working as a tour guide I enjoy hiking, swimming, reading, gardening, the Great Outdoors at large, volunteering with beach cleaning and selling fresh produce at the Farmers' Market.
I'm a big aficionado of slack key music; also like tango, Fado and French chansons. My favorite foods range from organic greens to spicy curries....and part of my heart and soul will always be in South India!

Reviews From Guests
1) Neighborhood - WOW! Could not be any nicer! This rental is located in a neighborhood where the homes are enormous, new, and well maintained. No commuter access is possible due to the windy road, so the only people driving or walking around are guests or owners. You will park down a narrow dirt driveway, so be mentally prepared to drive in reverse, even after a long flight. 2. The listing is very accurate - we wish there were better photos because the pictures did not do the gorgeous space justice! The lanai (porch) is huge, wraps around both sides, and has an outdoor seating area - all protected from rain. The sunrise is outstanding on the front porch. We never needed to close the windows, and it stayed cool all day long. The bedroom is large and this is the best closet we've seen in a rental on Kauai - 2 sides so each of you can have your own hanging and folding space. And a huge mirror on both doors that you can see from the bed. 3. We felt so Welcome! Charlotte had great communication before, during, and after the trip - we forgot a pair of pants and she left it on the front porch for us after we called. When we arrived, Charlotte greeted us even though it was late in the evening, and showed us around. We were so impressed - she had thought of everything. The linens are beautiful, there is a large variety of kitchen appliances. She even left us butter, coffee, fresh Kauai fruit, orange juice, and organic bread to get us started! There are some spices on a cute spice rack, a nice blender for making smoothies, a coffee maker, a large microwave, and a full size stove (very rare in an affordable Airbnb rental on Kauai - usually just a hot plate or microwave). The shower/bathroom is great too, with a nice large mirror. The living room is SO MUCH nicer than we saw in the photos. The sofa is modern and firm, very comfortable, and huge. It's like your own little modern loft. Most Airbnb rental apartments don't come with a very nice sofa - if any - and they are often tacky colors, old fashioned designs, etc. The art, decor here is really tasteful - professionally framed art all around, and the vaulted ceiling has beautiful wood - such great solid construction here. Note - This is Hawaii - you will see a gecko or two that somehow make their way into the home. They do not bother you. The jungle setting with trees and mountains guarantees that when it rains, some small ants will be present on the bathroom floor. We did not see them in the rest of the home. We had a big bug come inside even though we were very careful to close the screens quickly - it's just the nature of the area. I would say for sure that it is VERY...
Nous avons adoré notre semaine chez Charlotte. Tout ce que nous avions besoin était à portée de main. De plus, une petite épicerie de dépannage nous attendait. À recommander! :)
My husband and I stayed at Cozy Cottage for a week in August 2015 on our first trip to Kauai. We loved the cottage and the island! Cozy Cottage is a perfect place to stay if you are not into a resort-style accommodation. It is modern, clean, and well-equipped. It offers privacy, quiet, and a beautiful setting - all at an affordable price. For us, having a living room and kitchen made this a very attractive play to stay over a typical hotel room. The cottage is located in a country-like setting, yet just a short drive from the village of Kapaa which has a variety of shops, restaurants, beaches, activities, etc. The location on the East side of the island was a convenient 20 minute drive from the airport and just over an hour drive to the northernmost or southernmost parts of the island. Charlotte and John are excellent hosts - very warm, friendly, and available, yet unobtrusive. Upon arrival, Charlotte took us on a tour of the cottage and also provided us with some basic groceries to get us started, which was very sweet and much appreciated. The cottage does not have air conditioning which we were told is fairly typical on this island, but just a warning that during the time we stayed (mid-August) the heat and humidity in the cottage were almost unbearable a few days, particularly in the afternoons. If you are used to air conditioning or having any breathing difficulties, this is something to consider. The only other downside for us was the mosquitos outside. We really wanted to take advantage of spending time outdoors on the porch – just relaxing or having our meals. However, every time we stepped out the door, we were both attacked by mosquitos. It was disappointing to not be able to take advantage of that part of the cottage, but obviously not something the hosts have any control over. Overall, we had a very positive experience and highly recommend Cozy Cottage. Thank you Charlotte and John for sharing your property with us and making our time in Kauai so enjoyable!
Thank you so much, Angela, for your very thoughtful review! I'm happy to know that your overall experience at the Cozy Cottage was a positive one! While I absolutely agree with you about very hot and humid conditions inside and out as well as numerous mosquitoes on the lanai I have to point out that these are NOT normal conditions, even at this time of year. We have had the unique situation of several large hurricanes within a huge depression surrounding the islands keeping everything extremely hot, humid and stagnant! I have lived here for 22 years and never had a whole month or more like this without cooling trade winds on and off. Heat, humidity and no winds foster a lot more mosquitoes which normally would only be a problem at dusk and night. All this may be due to an extended El Niño or global warming!?! Time will show....Anyway, sorry you happened to be here when the weather was not at its best....but glad you enjoyed your stay and all the wonderful things our island has to offer! Aloha and a hui hou!
My sisters and I enjoyed our stay at Kai's cottage. Charlotte met us on the first day and showed us around. She left us some OJ, milk, chocolates, coffee, bread, and some fresh fruits. Her husband John was also very nice and asked us a few times throughout the week to let him know if we needed anything. They let us do laundry, which was a great bonus! The location was great! It was only about 3 miles from Kapa'a, which was perfectly located for visiting areas around the whole island. It was about an hour to the north shore (Hanalei) and maybe an hour and a half to the far west side (Waimea Canyon). We loved the location. The outdoor bathroom was actually really charming. The outdoor shower was great, and the toilet is a real flushing toilet in a little enclosed cabin. The kitchenette was PERFECT. There was a full-sized fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hot plate, and grill. We were traveling on a budget and we were able to eat 2 meals every day there. The only negative is the same as other people have mentioned: bugs. The cottage is located in a jungled area, so there are quite a few geckos, mosquitos and ants around. We just tried to keep food outside and bug spray on. Overall, great stay! Thanks John & Charlotte!
Thank you so much for your very kind review! It was nice to have 3 young sisters stay in Kai's Cottage! If you wanted to come back some day you'd be very welcome!! Aloha!
Charlotte was a great hostess!! She made us feel welcome and we were able to get in touch with her at any time. The cottage is roomy and stays cool at night. The cottage is an an area with lots of foliage so be prepared for geckos. They are on the walls and croak at night. This is something we did not know, but the lizards didn't bother us so it was no big deal. Other than the unexpected lizards, our stay was great!
We felt VERY welcome at Charlotte and Johns cottage. Accurate description would definitely stay here again.
WONDERFUL! Charlotte was such an accommodating and welcoming host, and the Cozy Cottage is in a delightful location with a view of mountains right off the lanai. It's just a few minutes' drive from Kapaa and great beaches but rural enough to feel like its own little country hideaway rather than a touristy resort. Everything we needed was provided, including beach towels, boogie boards, and plenty of kitchen equipment. The bed is SUPER comfortable, too. We didn't end up visiting it, but the Steelgrass chocolate farm is quite nearby. The only downside is that the wifi internet is pretty limited, but you're on holiday, so you probably won't need it anyway! We would definitely stay again and would recommend the Cozy Cottage to anyone looking for a little getaway spot on Kaua'i!
My stay at Charlotte and John s for the week was the highlight of my trip. Traveled to 3 different islands and the stay there is what I was looking for in Hawaii. To find a nice place to relax and just wonderful people, and I was lucky to be there on Saturday for the local beach clean up. I really enjoyed helping and meeting new people, I now have two new great friends. Thanks Charlotte and John. See you next time for sure
Kai's Rustic Cottage was amazing! We had a 10 day stay and it was our perfect home base for all our adventuring in Kauai. This type of place is what makes airbnb a magical experience. You have everything you need including incredibly useful things like things for the beach (hats) and hiking (awesome water bottle holder). There is even a smoothie bullet which you can stuff tons of fresh fruit in and take smoothies to go! Upon our arrival we found Charlotte to be a warm and informative host, the place was spotlessly clean and the fridge stocked with juice, butter, coffee and a special box of chocolates. There was also a nice loaf of a bread and a giant bowl of fruit! The bathroom is separate from the house, but we did not find it a problem at all and showering outside is the best! The area is wonderful and it is nice to be outside of Kapaa from the main touristy areas, it is a beautiful drive home and your journey back home can include waterfall views... Our tips for visitors to Kauai is cook lot's of your own food and visit all the farmer's markets everyday! There is also ways to not have to go though Kapaa and you can avoid the congested areas, ask Charlotte on the different backroads you can take.
Charlotte and John are the the most amazing hosts, the sweetest and funniest people on the island. This was our second time staying in Kai's rustic cottage and we loved every minute of it. It is a little retreat, so well equipped with everything you can possibly need. The central location is perfect for exploring the island. We will be back.
Reviews From Hosts
Charlotte was a very good guest, we communicated easily about her arrival and departure times and she left the apartment in perfect condition and even a charming note saying thank you in French! Would have her back anytime.
Charlotte and John were great guests, thoughtful in communicating their plans, very tidy, and friendly and interesting to talk with. I would recommend them to anyone.
We really enjoyed hosting the Lydgates here in Vancouver - a wonderful family and such a fun and outgoing attitude to life! Aloha

I have enjoyed many visits over the last 12 years. That should tell you something. Great location, nice accomodations, beautiful views in addition to Charlotte's eagerness to help make this the perfect place to stay on Kauai.
I've known Charlotte for about 9 years; she wryly says of herself, '- what you see is what you get!'! :) ...& what you get is a forthright, vital, gregarious, hard-working, fun-loving, life-experienced woman with impressive practicality & willingness to assist in every situation which requires hands-on help. Here back home on our small island, Charlotte runs pretty much everything - including co-hosting a monthly full-moon potluck picnic @ the beautiful beach park named after her husband's grandfather, which she also stewards with him with weekly beach clean-ups which bring together many members of our community. A well-travelled bilingual speaker who has lived in Germany, England, India & the mainland USA as well as Hawai'i, there are few situations Charlotte has encountered & dealt with over the course of her life so far! PLUS she's a REALLY good cook AND baker; indeed, Charlotte's creativity is expressed in her food-preparation skills (hint: so take advantage if you can!)). I recommend Charlotte as someone one can depend upon to come through in most situations with practical solutions, go on long walks & hikes with, and have fun with over home-cooked dinners & a nice bottle of wine - or curled up with cocoa in front of a GOOD Woody Allen movie or something by the Coen brothers or any similarly dry-witted fare...
We are friends for more than 30 years, come from the same city in Germany and have kept contact over all these years. We visited Charlotte in Kauai some years ago and have enjoyed our stay very much - had a great time!! We can recommend her 100%!

The late Rainer Werner
Fassbinder was not the kind of young European director who scorned the glitter
of Hollywood. He was raised on American movies, one a day during his
adolescence, and he once said that his dream was to make a film as beautiful as
a great Hollywood movie of the 1930s, embodying his personal vision.
The earlier works in his astonishing output of some 40 films were made on budgets too small to support that kind of vision. But in the last few years of his life, he several times had the budgets and the casts to make movies that looked and felt as elaborate as pre-war Hollywood studio productions. The titles included his "German trilogy" of "The Marriage of Maria Braun," "Lois" and "Veronika Voss," also "Lili Marleen."
This is a film laden with irony. It stars Hanna Schygulla, who became an international star by appearing in the big-budget "Maria Braun." That role was about a woman who tried single-handedly to recreate herself in a successful image; her life paralleled the postwar "German economic miracle." Now in "Lili Marleen" here is another woman, named Willie, whose public life parallels the rise and fall of Nazism.
The movie opens in 1938, late for a well-informed German to be naive about the Nazi party, but Willie doesn't seem very tuned in. She sings in a cabaret, she falls in love with Giancarlo Giannini, and she learns that Giannini is a leader in the anti-Nazi underground.
She supports him, sort of, without ever really placing her own life on the line. In Germany, she records a version of "Lili Marleen," which is played on the radio and becomes the song of the moment. She is identified with the song, with Nazism, and with the war effort, and becomes a national heroine while at the same time reserving her private life for the resistance hero. She seems able to reconcile public and private codes that are diametrically opposed.
The movie intercuts the Nazi investigation of Giannini's activities with interminable reprises of Schygulla singing "Lili Marleen," until there is an ironic appropriateness when Fassbinder devises a new Nazi instrument of torture: a brief bit from the record of "Lili Marleen," played over and over again at a helpless prisoner, a sort of Chinese water torture of the ears.
"Lili Marleen" is not one of Fassbinder's great films. But it has a wicked sense of humor, displayed in Fassbinder's two favorite opposites, understatement and hyperbole. His characters take the most amazing things quietly in stride, and then get hysterical over trifles; their little ambitions and intrigues obsess them while, half-noticed in the background, civilization crumbles underneath the lamplight.

John McCain: The Other, Dead White Meat
There's no getting around that, as far as political animals go, Barack Obama is an alpha lion. Last night's roar is still reverberating through the media and blogosphere, and a lot of hands are wringing as Dems ponder what a McCain-Obama juxtaposition will look like during the lead-up to the general election. Especially after McCain's comatose-inducing performance last night. Jesus, did you see it?
There's no need to point out that the speech was horrible. (It's already been done.) The man verbally shat himself in front of the whole country on live national television, and, around the 4:34 mark, took on the distinct appearance of a dementia-addled Senator Palpatine scheming against his nursing home overlords. The "speech" embarrassed every American—from right-wing Montana militiamen to anarcho-hippie sodomites—unfortunate enough to witness it. In that sense (and in that sense only) McCain can call himself a uniter.
So never mind the style and/or substance of the address: the more fascinating thing is that, while watching it unfold, you couldn't help but notice that the alleged war hero embodies the Republican Party to a tee. He is the GOP, all the way down to his physical appearance: a once grand, not-to-be-fucked-with juggernaut reduced to a decrepit, teleprompter-gazing corpse.
Not that this is anything new. During the lead up to the Iowa caucuses back in January, we characterized McCain as a wounded antelope about to be ravaged by a pack of voracious scavengers. He successfully fended off the vultures.
But God help him when he steps into the ring with The Lion.

Petitioning U.S. House of Representatives and 2 others
Get Discriminatory Associations Out of Public Schools!
Currently, under No Child Left Behind, all public schools are required to lend their facilities to, among other associations, the Boy Scouts of America.
The Boy Scouts discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religion and should not be permitted to use publicly funded facilities.
Tell President Obama and your representatives that discrimination in public schools in unacceptable!
Letter to
U.S. House of Representatives
U.S. Senate
President of the United States
I'm writing you to ask that you work to remove section 9525 of No Child Left Behind. This section requires public schools to allow discriminatory associations like the Boy Scouts of America to use their facilities. Not only is this a blatant violation of the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th amendment, but it's blatantly outrageous. The Boy Scouts of America discriminate on the basis of religion and sexual orientation, and do not belong in a place of equal opportunity, like public schools.
I ask that you work with your colleagues to remove section 9525 from The No Child Left Behind Act.
